The ultimate authority on Palestinian issues are Palestinians, and Fidaa's voice is one of them.
But she has been on survival mode for too long now.
Any help you can give today to feed her children will be deeply appreciated.

imagine if israel had just—let fidaa bring all her children with her when she first qualified for medical evacuation. instead, she suffers. everything israel does to gaza is so clearly genocidal (why must people return after treatment?), you have to be made of steel to keep going
